Mysterious Mithai












Today my senior editor got a small box of the most unconventional sweets. They were shaped like white plastic bars, three of them placed side by side in the tiny box.They seemed to be wrapped in translucent plastic sheets. Inside those plastic-looking wrapping were the most delicious fillings made in desi ghee. The most unique thing about this mithai was that there was no need to chew it. All you have to do is place it on your tongue and it would melt like butter spreading the rich, delicious sweetness all over. It melted like heaven with the sweetest taste. Wish I could know the name of this mithai, and where to get it.
(PS: This mithai is called 'khaja'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khaja)
